What a disgusting slob. This goes in line with his ass picking, nose picking, snot blowing, spitting, all the vulgarity he shows on court. People like him will help kill tennis interest even further, which is already waning.

Agree to the Get a life comment. But also agree to the Nadal is a horrific slob comment. I don't think he's going to take away interest in tennis (mainly because I'm not an idiot), but I do think he's disgusting.

I second the motion
As a matter of fact, I find myself earnestly agreeing with this seconding of the agreement of the agreer who agreed with aforementioned agreement.

And I think his actions in the photo are funny. It's not like he's hocking a loogie or anything, it's just some harmless liquid :eek:

Yes you are correct.

Just because of this I am going to quit playing tennis, And also because my favorite player Federer keeps losing to this guy.

Isn't Nadal one of the (if not most) OCD person on tour?

why do all or maybe a lot of fed fans talk trash about nadal(thistime fedfanatic) and the other way around? I mean I'm a fed fan but I dont talk trash about Nadal! I mean we all know that they get along really well(fed and rafa)...!It's all about sportsmanship that shouldnt be forgotten!

Yes, federerfanatic should be banned for unsportsman like talking.

I think the answer is fairly obvious. A lot of Fed fans live vicariously through his wins, and Nadal is the one guy mopping the floor with him. This angers them because somehow they feel personally humiliated at this, as if Federer's losses or wins have anything to do whatsoever with their own lives. However this is true in all sports with all kinds of sports fans I think. I mean just look at what you get at football, baseball and basketball games...

That's my theory anyway. :p

Because if we were forced to talk about players other than the same top 5 . . . most of us would have nothing to say.

He spit it out because it's not legal for him to drink...unless other countries in Europe have the drinking at 18 like in Poland.

Nadal is what tennis needed in this era imo. A kid who's not afraid of anyone and has the technique and physique to beat everyone on a clay court and maybe more one day. He diverges from the typical player style like Federer for example who tries to look elite and elegant all the time but he brings a different taste to the ATP.

People like Nadal, Canas and co are here to stay so get used to it.

Nadal takes counterpunching almost literally, in that regardless of lead, any given break can feel like the beginning of a comeback. This mentality translates really well for non-fans of tennis. His mindset, I wish Agassi had.

Both guys really diverge from the norm, really. I was a big fan of Federer pre-2003 because he played a uniquely elegant style of tennis. The key point being uniquely elegant -- a Safin-style monster game is the ideal for most tennis fans, not the psuedo-classical style Fed was kinda inching. That said, Fed's moved away from that for the sake of percentage tennis, though. Nowadays it's up-and-down guys like Gasquet who I'd like to watch for the sake of watching.
